A Solo Motorcycle Trip to Arkansas: Johnny Cash's Home, Crowley's Ridge Scenic Byway, and Delta BBQ!

#Arkansas #HarleyDavidson #MotorcycleTravel

A solo motorcycle trip through the Arkansas Delta may sound like a bland place to travel. In reality, Arkansas is the hidden gem of the Southern United States for great motorcycle rides and destinations. Today we're riding a portion of the Crowleys Ridge National Scenic Byway, in addition to the second half of the Delta Music Ride. There's plenty to see and do in the area, but here are a few things we check out along the way:
- The Crowleys' Ridge National Scenic Byway: Contained within the Delta's level expanse, Crowley's Ridge rises as much as 200 feet above the surrounding terrain and stretches from Malden, Missouri to Helena, Arkansas. The Arkansas portion of the byway is 198 miles long. In a region surrounded by fertile farmlands as far as the eye can see, Crowley's ridge is a hidden gem motorcycle ride in the Delta!
- Village Creek State Park: All Arkansas State Parks are free to visit, and the quick but scenic ride through this state park leads you to a swimming hole and campground that’s worth stopping for if you’re in the area.
- Delta Q BBQ: No trip to the Delta is complete without BBQ. Pork based BBQ is a staple of the region, so I had to stop and try their “fine southern swine.”
- BB King Historical Landmark: Hopping back on the Delta Music Ride, we stop in Twist, Arkansas to see where BB King originally named his Guitar Lucille.
- Dyess Colony: The Johnny Cash Boyhood Home Tour starts in the Historic Dyess Colony. It was here in the Arkansas Delta that “JR” Johnny Cash grew up from the age of 3 through High School. The tour has plenty of Johnny Cash memorabilia and historical knowledge about Dyess to help showcase what life was like in the Delta at the time, and how it shaped Johnny’s music.
